Lola was such a pleasant person and always shine when she was at Burger King. She loved people no matter who they were everyone was treated equal. God Gained a beautiful Angel and she loved her Purple!!! She is the only Angel in Heaven wearing a purple gown with white wings but that was Belton’s Grandma Purple

The happiest Burger King drive through employee I had ever encountered. May she rest in peace knowing the lives she touched.
